How to Use the GrabFood Partner MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the GrabFood Partner MCP Server to my OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install openai-agents and initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this server instance directly into your Agent constructor using the mcpservers parameter to auto-discover all 12 operational tools.

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK system run marketing campaigns on GrabFood Partner?

Yes. Your agent can execute the createcampaign tool to launch discounts or free delivery offers, and monitor performance using listcampaigns directly within your Python workflow.

Q: How does the GrabFood Partner integration handle busy kitchen rushes in the OpenAI Agents SDK?

The agent monitors incoming tickets using listorders. If the queue grows too large, the agent calls pausestore to temporarily stop new orders or updates preparation estimates using updatereadytime.

Q: What happens if my agent tries to cancel an order that is already being prepared?

The agent should run checkordercancelable first. If the order has progressed too far, the API blocks the cancellation, preventing errors and protecting your merchant metrics.

Connect your OpenAI Agents SDK directly to GrabFood to accept orders and manage menus with built-in execution safety.

Perplexity

Automated Order Intake with Guardrails

The `accept_order` tool lets your agent confirm or reject incoming GrabFood tickets instantly based on live kitchen capacity. Because OpenAI Agents SDK supports strict guardrails, you can verify order details before committing the kitchen, completely avoiding accidental double-bookings or performance penalties. If things get too chaotic, the agent uses `pause_store` to halt incoming orders or triggers `update_ready_time` to give your kitchen staff breathing room. This keeps your delivery metrics clean without forcing managers to watch a tablet all night.

Real-Time Menu Control via MCP Server

The `batch_update_menu` tool modifies specific item prices and updates stock status on the fly. Running this through an MCP Server means your agents can coordinate menu changes based on real-time kitchen inventory without risking a full, destructive menu overwrite. If an ingredient runs out, the agent instantly runs `update_menu` or `batch_update_menu` to pull the dish. You get instant updates on the GrabFood platform, keeping hungry customers from ordering items you can't actually prepare.

Safe Cancellations with Agent Handoffs

The `check_order_cancelable` tool verifies if an order can be dropped before you trigger a cancellation. Since the OpenAI Agents SDK handles complex handoffs, one agent can inspect order status while a supervisor agent executes `cancel_order` only when safety conditions are met. This setup protects your merchant rating from unnecessary hits. You get a fully automated dispatch pipeline that knows its own limits and asks for human help only when an order is too far along to cancel.

Setup guide

Set up GrabFood Partner MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all GrabFood Partner tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives GrabFood Partner tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate GrabFood Partner tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="GrabFood Partner Agent",
            instructions="You have access to GrabFood Partner tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
